I saw this recently on Pinterest and thought it was such a cute idea. Click Tiny Polaroid Magnets to view the tutorial on how to get started. In the tutorial she says you will need Photoshop. I know most people don't own Photoshop so I wanted to make a particular comment on the Pixlr online editing program that she mentions....It is FREE and will handle making these little cuties very nicely.
I also think you could simply print the polaroid template she provides at a certain size (maybe a regular polaroid size and cut the center out and place a picture behind it. I've saved her template in jpg form to make for easy printing. Here is a copy for you... Polaroid JPG Template
I haven't tried making these myself but I have a few thoughts......
Perhaps foam board would work as a substitute for the cardstock or cardboard. It comes in white and you wouldn't have to color the edges after cutting.
I think when I do mine I might spray the entire thing with Krylons Workable Fixatif before hanging on the fridge for a little protection. Seems like my hands are always wet, etc. in the kitchen.
Let me know if any of you try these and how it works out.
